    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the middle of a Wisconsin winter

    I had to chuckle when I saw this post. I've been sorting and resorting my seeds lately, just itching to get starts on at the first sign of impending spring. My friends think I'm nuts for already planning my garden but I'm just itching to get out there. It will be my first year in my new place...
